Skinny Shaner Gets His---Outside the Picture, Fortunately Bv Damon Runyon. N EW YORK, Aug:. 20.—Handsome Harold McCormick, president of the Amalgamated Assassination of Pinch Punchers, has called a meet ing of the boird of directors to con sider the application of Sir Mique Donlin, who desires membership in the organization so he can go around pinching with the Yankees, or some one. The puchritudinous, but otherwise a>l right Harold, has notified Messrs. Ham Hyatt, of Pittsburg; Charley McDonald, of Boston; Doc Miller, of Philadelphia; Benny Myers, of Brook lyn; Johnny Bates, of Cincinnati; Jack Lelivelt, of Cleveland; Otey Crandall, of St. Louis; Olaf Hfnrick- fien, of Boston, and Hugh High, of Detroit, to meet him in a dark alley some night so he can poll the delega tion. It is believed that Sir Mique will be admitted, if he can survive Jersey City, and his residence there will not be in any way held against him. as it is well understood that Mike is a Broadwayite at heart. When John J. McGraw founded the Pinch Hitter, little did he think that it would flourish and spread across all the leagues, as i<t most certainly has flourished and spread. When the Giant chief employed Samuel Strang, the best baritone ever in baseball, to pinch hit for him. it was because John J. McGraw desired pinch hits and not that he desired to encourage pinch hitters, but from the lowly be ginning of S Strang grew the great army that we know to-day. Strang “Some Pincher.” It is related of S. Strang that he went up fourteen times in the tight places and tore off eleven hits, and sso when S. Strang went away from here to suing and such McGraw lay in wait for another pincher of his caliber. Handsome Harold McCor mick is the answer. Meantime, nowever, other clubs had adopted the pincher, and now we have among others, the Illustrious persons named above, most of whom do nothing but pinch hit, but who get fat salaries for sc doing, while com mon, or garden, ball players work from day to day for the same amount of money. And who shall say that they do not pay for themselves? Not us. We shall not say it, because we have a high regard for the pincher, and, moreover, we envy him his job. Sir Mique could always spank the baseball, and he had that peculiar quality of confidence that makes the pincher pinch. Take Harold Mc Cormick. for example. Harold does not believe the pitcher ever lived who had anything on him. Harold reasons that he has something on the pitchers, especially when he crocs up in the pinch. Pitchers Fear Harry. He argues that the pitcher is the man who is entitled to be afraid and not Handsome Harold McCor mick. Wherefore, he pinches punctil iously, and wherefore, he is retained at what may be enormous expense, for all we know, on the payroll of the New York Giants. * * * A HASTY compilation of the Schush family now playing professional baseball, shows the following line-up: Schalk, Schang. Schmutz, Schardt. Schact and Schauer. * * * J OE TINKER says he will resign. which is the same thing in a gen eral way that the Cincinnati fans said when thev saw him coming. • * * C HRIS MATHEWSON was once quoted as saying that he could tell what Honus Wagner intended doing by watching his feet. Events of last Saturday prove that Chris is either becoming nearsighted, or that Honus has new feet. * * * C HARLEY M. TESREAU. the pitch ing pachyderm, is still In there leading the boys in number of strike outs. Charley M. has whiffed 132 batsmen, which record is topped only by Wonderful Walter Johnson, of Washington. D. C. Walter has breezed 163; Tom Seaton, of Philadelphia, is next to Tesreau in the National J.eague with 126 strike-outs, and he 1^ the champion base-on-baller, with 89 passes, while Charley M. has a matter of 87. * * * I T appears that John J. McGraw is determined to have at least one look at ‘‘Preacher’’ Perryman, the the ological hurle** of the Virginia League, at all hazards. He has exercised an option on the young man, who is now et Roanoke. Perrvman was supposed to report at Marlin last spring, and for days and days the Giant chief anxiously searched the horizon for a glimpse of the youth, who is said to be several stories in height, but Perryman came not. Tt is said he remained In Georgia to complete his college course, and then he returned to the Virginia League, where Mc Graw first heard of him a year ago. BUCK O'BRIEN NOT WANTED BY A COAST LEAGUE CLUB LOS ANGELES. Aug. 20—The services of “Buck” O’Brien, one of the pitchers who helped the Boston Red Sox win the world’s series last fall, were declined with thanks by the management >f the Venice club of the Pacific Coast League last night. O’Brien is now a member of the Chicago White Sox. Captain Calla han telegraphed President Eddie Maier offering to sell O’Brien. Maler wired that he could not use the vet eran. Report that O’Brien is a hard nan to handle probably had much to do with Maier’s decision. SMITH, ATLANTA, LOSES TENNIS MATCH TO ADOUE DALLAS. TEXAS.

JACK JOHNSON MAY NOT BE ALLOWED ON LONDON STAGE LONDON, Aug. 20.—There Is a possibility that Jack Johnson, the American negro pugllst wul not be allowed to appear cmi the stage in this city. " The announcement that he would do a turn next week at one of the music halls brought a number of re monstrances to the management to the effect .that the London public, after the recelations of Johnson’s violations of the white slave laws of the United States, would' not stand for the negro pugilist as an enter tainer. The manager retorted that he did not think the question of morality en tered into the matter if the boxing exhibition by Johnson was a good one. Besides, the term “white, slavery” does not mean the same in England as. it does in the United States, and the crime with which Johnson is charged in the United States would not be an offense against the law' here. The Federa tion of Variety Artists will discuss the question at a meeting in this city on Thursday. Mike Kelly, the Indianapolis boy, has entered upon the boxihg scene. Kelly wished to announce that he is open to meet any boy around these parts and is particularly anxious to get on with Charley Lee. “I will agree to box Lee on a winner-take-all basis, if he will sign for the bout now.” wailed Mike yesterday when we met him at Five Points. The next big scrap to be staged on the coast will be a twenty-round en gagement between Joe Rivers and Leach Cross for Labor Day. The mill will be held in Tom McCarey’s arena. Charley Eyton has been named as referee. Kenosha, Wis., plans to open the box ing game next month. John Keating, promoter in the Wisconsin city, is after Tommy Murphy or Leach Cross to box Charley White at his opening show'. However, both these boys do not seem overanxious to don the mitts with the Chicago whirlwind. * * * Jimmy Grant writes from Chicago that he is boxing daily and expects to be in fighting condition soon. Jimmy is trying to get on with some of the stars around the ‘‘Windy City” and says he will probably sign for a match within the next few days.

STILL AFTER M’ALLISTER AND PETR0SKEY MATCH SAN FRANCISCO,’GAL., Aug. 20— Promter Jim Coffroth Is still struggling with the Bob McAllister-Sailor Peiros- key-Jimmy Clabby problem. Jim wants first of all to arrange a return match between MCAUlstef* and Petroskey. be ing satisfied that there is an insistent demand for the same. In making his deductions, Coffroth Is influenced by the fact that McAllister’s friends believe Bob should have received the decision in the recent bout, while Ptroskey’s followers are calling upon all non-partisan sports to bear testimony that McAllister would have been knocked out had the affair lasted a few rounds longer. In such a case, of course, a return match would fill a long felt want If it takes place Clabby is assured a match with the winner, something worth hanging around for. If McAllister, after due consideration, decides he has had enough of the boxing game for a while, Coffroth will turn his attention to a Pet- roskey-Clabby match.
